Geometry has been defined as that part of mathematics which makes appeal to the sense of sight; but this definition is thrown
in doubt by the existence of great geometers who were blind or nearly so, such as Leonhard Euler. Sometimes it seems that
geometric methods in analysis, so-called, consist in having recourse to notions outside those apparently relevant, so that
geometry must be the joining of unlike strands; but then what shall we say of the importance of axiomatic programmes in geometry,
where reference to notions outside a restricted reper tory is banned? Whatever its definition, geometry clearly has been more
than the sum of its results, more than the consequences of some few axiom sets. It has been a major current in mathematics,
with a distinctive approach and a distinc ti v e spirit. A current, furthermore, which has not been constant. In the 1930s,
after a period of pervasive prominence, it appeared to be in decline, even passe. These same years were those in which H.S.M.
Coxeter was beginning his scientific work. Undeterred by the unfashionability of geometry, Coxeter pursued it with devotion
and inspiration. By the 1950s he appeared to the broader mathematical world as a consummate practitioner of a peculiar, out-of-the-way
art. Today there is no longer anything that out-of-the-way about it. Coxeter has contributed to, exemplified, we could almost
say presided over an unanticipated and dra matic revival of geometry

Pt. 2 (ca. 52 min.). Presents Newton's method as representative of an iterative procedure; defines the definite integral using
Riemann sums; demonstrates the fundamental theorem of calculus, showing the functions F(x) and f(x) graphed simultaneously
on separate sets of axes to illustrate that F'(x) = f(x); defines area in terms of the calculus. Pt. 3 (ca. 53 min.). Discusses
areas under curves with emphasis on the graphs of continuous and monotone functions; illustrates the definite integral by
the method of upper and lower sums; explains that the volume of an urn-like solid can be expressed with a definite integral;
explains that the volume of a torus can be expressed as a definite integral using the shell method
